No quarterback was ever that much fun to watch. For the 2 years he went to the super bowl with GB I’ve never seen anyone make passes that accurate since then there could be 4 guys on Andre Rison and he could pinpoint it perfectly so it was right in his receivers hands

Favre was won more games than anyone else who played during his time as a Packers QB and after . He was great to anyone who watched ! He was the greatest Packers player ever next to Bart Starr and just because of how his career ended he gets overlooked . Had he won the Denver super bowl with his team he would be ranked higher .
Brett Favre was the King of backyard football. No one loved the game more than him. Favre threw harder than anyone else and threw farther than anyone else. Toughest quarterback to ever play the game. It was truly an honor to watch him play every game. Thank you Brett for being one of the greatest quarterbacks ever and the most exciting!
Well said , I've been a packers fan since he came to greenbay ... I loved Aaron rodgers but Brett was special ... he really did love the game . He was a warrior.
10:41 is the Favre I'll always remember. Rolls left, throws from the 43 across his body, to the back right hand corner of the end zone for the game winning TD. First Packers playoff win in 11 years and only 2nd playoff win since 1967! This game in 94 was the starting point of the Packers team most people know now.
Brett Farve: The greatest Pro Backyard Football Quarterback ever This is a complement. How anyone could make something so precise as throwing a ball into someones hands 30, 40, 50+ yards while they run and while you run is still a mystery to me. The fact that he lasted so long in the league with the way he run and slung the ball is amazing.
@@Hevnoraak tom Brady is far from the toughest ever. But he is the biggest cry baby when he loses and oh yeah a few of his team's have been caught cheating. He even destroyed his cell phone to cover it up
I remember watching him throw that game winner against the 49ers when he was a Viking. 50 yard pass, on the run, getting hit from behind as he throws it, perfect DOT in double coverage for the win. That will be one of the greatest plays I have ever seen a quarterback make
He really isn't that good, I dont why he's in every highlight... well yea I do. The nfl dickeats Favre. Shoulda had more Brady or sum. At least we saw some Vikings highlights

@@hazem7707 On the field.... Too careless with the football at times. He would try to force plays instead of throwing it away, etc. There is a reason he holds the record for the most INT's

Pat Mahomes is just a poor man's Brett Favre. Mahomes plays in a soft, passing era catered to the offense. Favre was one of a kind, the toughest player in history and did it for 20 seasons
Mahomes is better than Favre. He isn't as tough as Favre though. But his arm is just as strong and he's just as elusive in the pocket. But Mahomes makes better decisions. Favre led the league in interceptions multiple seasons and even had just as many or more interceptions than touchdowns in 5 seasons.
The difference between Rodgers and Favre: If you're down 21 points in the 4th Rodgers: will pad his stats, play it safe and you'll likely lose by 14. Favre: You're winning or loosing by 42.
@@Dasimers I mean there's 11 active QBs with more game winning drives and 15 with more comebacks. That's all dispite the fact he's the 6th oldest starting QB in the league. For comparison Russell Wilson has started for 4 less years and been in the NFL for half as long as Rogers and Wilson has 3 more comebacks and 3 more game winning drives.
I get the spirit of this post because 4 was more wreckless but 12 doesn't exactly play it safe, he probably has as few comebacks as he's had because when you throw as many touchdowns as he does and as few interceptions it's hard to be losing in the first place
@@OJspencer22 I hear that argument a lot, but GB hasn't exactly been 14-2 each year. Using Wilson as a comp again Rogers win percentage is 63.3% regular season with Wilson's at 67%.
Hate him or love him, think he's overrated or underrated etc but just about nobody can deny Favre was gonna get ya your money's worth of entertainment on Sundays.
So grateful to watch Brett Favre’s career. No one … no one will ever play football with the child like enthusiasm that Brett played it … others will eclipse him on the leader boards but no one will ever come close to his enthusiasm.
cowboys fan here.favre was easily the most fun qb to watch ever.what a gun for an arm.used to love watching the little kid joy he had playing.thats how it should be.he used to burn my cowboys secondary every time he played.miss watching him play more than any player i ever watched.rob gronkowski is my second favorite.
Yep. If they would have drafted Sanders instead of Mandarich you would be right. Except, if they drafted Sanders they would have been good enough to keep the old coach and never switch to Ron Wolf and Holmgren, so they would never have gotten Favre.
One of the greatest players in NFL history. Favre was always must see TV and one thing I will always admire about him:297 consecutive starts. Favre 4 ever.
If there wasn't any o-line, he would still make the play possible. Miss this type of guy in the NFL, so much fun to watch. You can tell he's loving it.
I am from Lima - Peru, I used to live in South Louisiana for about 7 years until 2010, due to a transnational company, however at that time I did not understand this game at all; but thanks to Brett Favre I could understand the game easily, he got such a good talent to throw the ball that I was amazed he had that artillery cannon on his right arm.. very easy way of playing and very accurate passes.. he is my favorite NFL player of all times and I was a fan of GB Packers of course.. best regards from Peru.
I have to say, for the sheer quality of these plays, Favre highlight reel is as good as any player from any era. One of the most exciting players ever to pit on the pads. M
Starting watching the packers right before he came about. Was some of the most infuriating/exciting football ever. Didn't know if you were getting 3 touchdowns or interceptions, but you could almost guarantee the playoffs. Watching him play just brings a smile as not many players had as much fun as him on the field.
Anyone ever notice him similar his Aaron’s and Jordan’s throwing mechanics are. They are obviously not 1 to 1 but you can see they all have similarities.
As a Mississippian and someone who grew up close to where he's from....WE COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD!! Even with the welfare scandal....at least the money went to building something for kids at a University and not in someones pocket
A lot of guys can throw deep balls, but it's a different kind of arm strengthen to be running full speed to your left and rifle one 50 yards across your body like Favre could.
Imagine what he could do in today's game, with the rules protecting QBs and the high powered passing offenses. People say nobody has done what Mahomes has done before, just watch some Favre highlights.
This is what Brady will never hold a candle to, making incredible plays with in- your- face pressure. Brady has all day to throw 5 -10 yard in routes makes it easy to pad on stats.
Couldn't have said it better. Brady couldn't have lasted in Favre's era...(esp having to play in THAT division, with teams like the Bears trying to take your head off on every play)
I remember being a kid growing up in Wisconsin, I was 8, Favre hit Kitrick Taylor for that TD to beat the Bengals. My dad came out of the house screaming like he was on fire, I was all the way down the block with friends. I ran home thinking something awful had happened, turns out it was just the beginning.
Brett Favre is an anomaly. For how wild he was as a passer it's a miracle he had any success at all. But that's what makes Favre, Favre. This dude made those absurd "wtf" type plays that Mahimes gets credit for today before anyone else in league history. Strongest arm since Marino, great accuracy even if he threw it to covered receivers often, and a passion for the game I've never seen as strongly in any other player. He was truly the Iron Man gunslinger, and boy is he fun to watch. Rodgers had arguably the best possible QB to sit behind for 3 years. With his accuracy and athletic ability, seeing how Favre was able to sling it was really good for his aggressive passing game. Packers fans really are blessed to have those two back to back, it's just a shame we only have 2 rings to show for it.
My Mom and Dad visited their summer camp at Lambeau field where he stopped to talk with her after their practice - he was kind and gracious - one of my Mother's fondest memories. I miss B.F.

@@mattmenotti847 Tom Brady Always Win Every Game Bro!
The way this man played and his genuine love of the game is what made me a fan and I will forever be greatful to have watched all his career. He is the reason I am a fan now.
At 50 years of age, Brett Favre could still throw better than most of these NFL quarterbacks today.
There's no such thing as luck with Favre that man was pure skill and nothing else
To a degree, but he turned it over way too much after 1996.
Hence why IMO he never got another ring after that year.
Hate him or love him...dude is a 🐐
The fact he has 50 plays is testament to his greatness
Pat Mahomes is just a poor man's Brett Favre. Mahomes plays in a soft, passing era catered to the offense. Favre was one of a kind, the toughest player in history and did it for 20 seasons
So I guess that why Brett thinks Mahomes is garbage or something
Lol the rule changes and era shouldn't be held against Mahomes. Weird thing to say.
Mahomes is better than Favre. He isn't as tough as Favre though. But his arm is just as strong and he's just as elusive in the pocket. But Mahomes makes better decisions. Favre led the league in interceptions multiple seasons and even had just as many or more interceptions than touchdowns in 5 seasons.
@@skip6978 call me when mahomes breaks favres records and gets 3 more MVPs
Not even a mahomes fan but brett favre literally got 336 int 😂😂
The difference between Rodgers and Favre:
If you're down 21 points in the 4th
Rodgers: will pad his stats, play it safe and you'll likely lose by 14.
Favre: You're winning or loosing by 42.
Tell that to the bears last year.
@@Dasimers I mean there's 11 active QBs with more game winning drives and 15 with more comebacks. That's all dispite the fact he's the 6th oldest starting QB in the league. For comparison Russell Wilson has started for 4 less years and been in the NFL for half as long as Rogers and Wilson has 3 more comebacks and 3 more game winning drives.
I get the spirit of this post because 4 was more wreckless but 12 doesn't exactly play it safe, he probably has as few comebacks as he's had because when you throw as many touchdowns as he does and as few interceptions it's hard to be losing in the first place
@@OJspencer22 I hear that argument a lot, but GB hasn't exactly been 14-2 each year. Using Wilson as a comp again Rogers win percentage is 63.3% regular season with Wilson's at 67%.
@@OJspencer22 i agree he doesn't just play safe, depending upon the gravity of the game. He knows when it's only the line.
4everFavre. Thanks for putting "The Pack" back on the map and the greatest football years of this fan's life. Never be duplicated. #4everFavre
My all time favorite player loved watching him when I was younger even when he left Green Bay. GO PACK GO
"If Brett Favre isn't the NFL's MVP this season there ought to be an investigation."
Brett is amazing
Brings back some good memories!
Amen
Strongest arm of all time. Absolute cannon
Hate him or love him, think he's overrated or underrated etc but just about nobody can deny Favre was gonna get ya your money's worth of entertainment on Sundays.
Man this takes me back. Not a packer fan but I've always loved Brett Favre! The guy was just magic. Thank goodness no moments on here involved my team
Number 4 and 3 Are Classic Legendary Throws
Before Mahomes, Favre.
I can’t help but smile at some of these throws, most of these are almost impossible to make........
So grateful to watch Brett Favre’s career. No one … no one will ever play football with the child like enthusiasm that Brett played it … others will eclipse him on the leader boards but no one will ever come close to his enthusiasm.
cowboys fan here.favre was easily the most fun qb to watch ever.what a gun for an arm.used to love watching the little kid joy he had playing.thats how it should be.he used to burn my cowboys secondary every time he played.miss watching him play more than any player i ever watched.rob gronkowski is my second favorite.
My favorite QB all time. Absolutely fearless. And even in year 20 he had the genuine excitement of his rookie season. No one plays like that anymore.
No Quarterback will hold a candle to Brett Favre!!
dude was straight SLINGING that ball. QB’s these days look effortless, but he was just cranking em.
Favre to Sharpe could've been the greatest duo ever.
Yep. If they would have drafted Sanders instead of Mandarich you would be right. Except, if they drafted Sanders they would have been good enough to keep the old coach and never switch to Ron Wolf and Holmgren, so they would never have gotten Favre.
One of the greatest players in NFL history. Favre was always must see TV and one thing I will always admire about him:297 consecutive starts. Favre 4 ever.
Unfortunately, he is now paying for it from too many head concussions. :(
If there wasn't any o-line, he would still make the play possible. Miss this type of guy in the NFL, so much fun to watch. You can tell he's loving it.
Moments holding the breaths, a legend.
2:42 that cannon though, camera couldn't follow had to immediately pan out.
I thought the same thing. I had never seen this play before - absolute laser
I am from Lima - Peru, I used to live in South Louisiana for about 7 years until 2010, due to a transnational company, however at that time I did not understand this game at all; but thanks to Brett Favre I could understand the game easily, he got such a good talent to throw the ball that I was amazed he had that artillery cannon on his right arm.. very easy way of playing and very accurate passes.. he is my favorite NFL player of all times and I was a fan of GB Packers of course.. best regards from Peru.
I miss his style and the excitement he showed after a TD pass!
I have to say, for the sheer quality of these plays, Favre highlight reel is as good as any player from any era. One of the most exciting players ever to pit on the pads. M
Great quarterback. Hated watching him vs my team in the playoffs.
I swear there's something in the way he moves and throws that make his highlights so fun to watch
Starting watching the packers right before he came about. Was some of the most infuriating/exciting football ever. Didn't know if you were getting 3 touchdowns or interceptions, but you could almost guarantee the playoffs. Watching him play just brings a smile as not many players had as much fun as him on the field.
When I watched number 2 live. I literally never seen anything like that. I was in disbelief. Dude is my all time favorite
Same , I saw that live and thought that’s the greatest throw I’ve ever seen . Still is .
Anyone ever notice him similar his Aaron’s and Jordan’s throwing mechanics are. They are obviously not 1 to 1 but you can see they all have similarities.
Number 2 is still one of the greatest throws I’ve ever seen. I’ll never forget it.
As a Mississippian and someone who grew up close to where he's from....WE COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD!! Even with the welfare scandal....at least the money went to building something for kids at a University and not in someones pocket
didnt ask
He is the older generations Patrick Mahomes
Mahomes is great player but he's got a real long way to go to achieve that status.
Mahomes is a modern Favre, and is only an imitation, because Mahomes models his play style off of Favre.
john langmaid mahomes has a arm as strong as Favre?
@@casualfandestroyer2503 no he doesn't. Favre was still throwing bombs in his late 30's, and could throw a football 80 yards through the air
A lot of guys can throw deep balls, but it's a different kind of arm strengthen to be running full speed to your left and rifle one 50 yards across your body like Favre could.
Imagine what he could do in today's game, with the rules protecting QBs and the high powered passing offenses. People say nobody has done what Mahomes has done before, just watch some Favre highlights.
A great collection of some of my favorite memories! Thanks so much.
This is what Brady will never hold a candle to, making incredible plays with in- your- face pressure. Brady has all day to throw 5 -10 yard in routes makes it easy to pad on stats.
Couldn't have said it better. Brady couldn't have lasted in Favre's era...(esp having to play in THAT division, with teams like the Bears trying to take your head off on every play)
Totally agree
But some of those new kids can... that Josh Allen is very Farve-like...
@@corkydukeII5898 Bears only got one ring during that time though
Wow those Wide Receivers are impressive
I remember being a kid growing up in Wisconsin, I was 8, Favre hit Kitrick Taylor for that TD to beat the Bengals. My dad came out of the house screaming like he was on fire, I was all the way down the block with friends. I ran home thinking something awful had happened, turns out it was just the beginning.
IT was a great time to be alive... Then next you hear my dad say damnit Favre as he throws a bad pick.. But some how turns the game around to win.
I was 10 and was at that game
i start to watch football with Brett Favre on 1994, i live in europe, it was very funny watching him throw that balls by all ways as possible.
"No it can't be, my mortal enemy, Cover artist of Madden 09, BRETT FAVREEEEEEEE" -Scott Wozniak
Brett Favre is an anomaly. For how wild he was as a passer it's a miracle he had any success at all. But that's what makes Favre, Favre. This dude made those absurd "wtf" type plays that Mahimes gets credit for today before anyone else in league history. Strongest arm since Marino, great accuracy even if he threw it to covered receivers often, and a passion for the game I've never seen as strongly in any other player. He was truly the Iron Man gunslinger, and boy is he fun to watch. Rodgers had arguably the best possible QB to sit behind for 3 years. With his accuracy and athletic ability, seeing how Favre was able to sling it was really good for his aggressive passing game. Packers fans really are blessed to have those two back to back, it's just a shame we only have 2 rings to show for it.
Miss seeing a Packers QB that did not play "safe". Favre always went down swinging. Never quit. Always tried to make a play.
My Mom and Dad visited their summer camp at Lambeau field where he stopped to talk with her after their practice - he was kind and gracious - one of my Mother's fondest memories. I miss B.F.
So how was number 1 more amazing than number 2...? I’m guessing they just couldn’t put a Viking play first.
Kevin Hearn No kidding. #2 was one of the most incredible plays I’ve seen.
Probably because it was the Superbowl...
That pretty much sums it up. That was one of the best plays in NFL history.
I remember when Favre was with Minnesota the 1st couple of years they were a force to be reckoned with
He was always fun to watch. Man did he have a cannon for an arm. I always knew but watching this video and seeing how he can let it go
Watching these old highlights, I never noticed just how much Favre and Mahomes play alike, especially in Farve's early days when he could scramble.

@@arkevo0430 Brett Favre has made a career for proving the doubters wrong his whole life. He has played through injuries and more including on December 22nd 2003 when him and the Green Bay Packers vs The Oakland Raiders on Monday Night Football one day after his father passed away. And Farve played for his honor on that night 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤
Bamba Sakho brady has more tds and Favre holds the record of most interceptions in nfl history, that’s the funniest stat ever 😂😂
